                         Chancellor’s Message 
       “Education is the most powerful  weapon which you can use to 
       change the world.” 
       - Nelson Mandela. 
       There was a time when survival depended on just the realization of 
       physiological needs. We are indeed privileged to exist in a time 
       when  ‘intellectual  gratification’  has  become  indispensable. 
       Information is easily attainable for the soul that is curious enough to 
       go look for it. Technological boons enable information availability 
       anywhere anytime. The difference, however, lies between those who 
       look for information and those who look for knowledge. 
        
       It is deemed virtuous to serve seekers of knowledge and as educators 
       it is in the ethos at REVA University to empower every learner who 
       chooses to enter our portals. Driven by our founding philosophy of ‘Knowledge is power’, we believe in 
       building a community of perpetual learners by enabling them to look beyond their abilities and achieve what 
       they assumed impossible. 
        
       India has always been beheld as a brewing pot of unbelievable talent, acute intellect and immense potential. 
       All it takes to turn those qualities into power is a spark of opportunity. Being at a University is an exciting and 
       rewarding experience with opportunities to nurture abilities, challenge cognizance and gain competence. 
        
       For any University, the structure of excellence lies in the transitional abilities of its faculty and its facility. I’m 
       always in awe of the efforts that our academic board puts in to develop the team of subject matter experts at 
       REVA. My faculty colleagues understand our core vision of empowering our future generation to be ethically, 
       morally and intellectually elite. They practice the art of teaching with a student-centered and transformational 
       approach. The excellent infrastructure at the University, both educational and extra-curricular, magnificently 
       demonstrates the importance of ambience in facilitating focused learning for our students. 
        
       A famous British politician and author from the 19th century - Benjamin Disraeli, once said ‘A University 
       should be a place of light, of liberty and of learning’. Centuries later this dictum still inspires me and I believe, 
       it takes team-work to build successful institutions. I welcome you to REVA University to join hands in laying 
       the foundation of your future with values, wisdom and knowledge.

                       Vice-Chancellor’s Message 
            
       The last two decades have seen a remarkable growth in higher education in India and across the globe. The 
       move towards inter-disciplinary studies and interactive learning have opened up several options as well as 
       created multiple challenges. India is at a juncture where a huge population of young crowd is opting for higher 
       education. With the tremendous growth of privatization of education in India, the major focus is on creating a 
       platform for quality in knowledge enhancement and bridging the gap between academia and industry. 
        
       A strong believer and practitioner of the dictum “Knowledge is Power”, REVA University has been on the 
       path of delivering quality education by developing the young human resources on the foundation of ethical 
       and moral values, while boosting their leadership qualities, research culture and innovative skills. Built on a 
       sprawling 45 acres of green campus, this ‘temple of learning’ has excellent and state-of-the-art infrastructure 
       facilities  conducive  to  higher  teaching-learning  environment  and  research.  The  main  objective  of  the 
       University is to provide higher education of global standards and hence, all the programs are designed to meet 
       international  standards.  Highly  experienced  and  qualified  faculty  members,  continuously  engaged  in  the 
       maintenance and enhancement of student-centric learning environment through innovative pedagogy, form the 
       backbone of the University. 
        
       All the programs offered by REVA University follow the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) with Outcome 
       Based Approach. The flexibility in the curriculum has been designed with industry-specific goals in mind and 
       the educator enjoys complete freedom to appropriate the syllabus by incorporating the latest knowledge and 
       stimulating the creative minds of the students. Bench marked with the course of studies of various institutions 
       of repute, our curriculum is extremely contemporary and is a culmination of efforts of great think-tanks - a 
       large number of faculty members, experts from industries and research level organizations. The evaluation 
       mechanism employs continuous assessment with grade point averages. We believe sincerely that it will meet 
       the aspirations of all stakeholders – students, parents and the employers of the graduates and postgraduates of 
       Reva University. 
        
       At REVA University,  research, consultancy and innovation are regarded as our pillars of success. Most of the 
       faculty members of the University are involved in research by attracting funded projects from various research 
       level organizations like DST, VGST, DBT, DRDO, AICTE and industries. The outcome of the research is 
       passed  on  to  students  through  live  projects  from  industries.  The  entrepreneurial  zeal  of  the  students  is 
       encouraged and nurtured through EDPs and EACs.
